Alpine Luggage has a capacity to produce 360,000 suitcases per year. The company is currently producing and selling 280,000 units per year at a selling price of $395 per case. The cost of producing and selling one case follows:

Variable manufacturing costs	$	158
Fixed manufacturing costs		41
Variable selling and administrative costs		82
Fixed selling and administrative costs		21
Total costs	$	302

The company has received a special order for 20,000 suitcases at a price of $251 per case. It will not have to pay any sales commission on the special order, so the variable selling and administrative costs would be only $50 per suitcase. The special order would have no effect on total fixed costs. The company has rejected the offer based on the following computations:

Selling price per case	$	251
Variable manufacturing costs		158
Fixed manufacturing costs		41
Variable selling and administrative costs		50
Fixed selling and administrative costs		21
Net profit (loss) per case	$	(19	)

Required:
